Restaurant Review...."Rosati's Authentic Chicago Pizza"

One thing that Joe and I have always talked about doing, but have never done, is getting out and trying different restaurants. When we were going over our list of New Year's Resolutions we decided we were not getting any younger so now was the time to start our restaurant adventure. After confirming our new venture I started looking on line at local restaurant reviews and stumbled upon Urban Spoon. What a great site for ideas and reviews. They also link you to the restaurant site so you can see menus and prices. This is a must for us because we must stay within budget on these gastronomic adventures.
Our budget was not a large one for this weekends food tour so we decided to try Rosati's Pizza in Morrisville North Carolina.

I was excited as we drove up to Rosati's.
We were greeted by very friendly people
and escorted to our table.

We were seated by a stone wall, very pretty. Small dining area, cozy, comfortable, and inviting. There were tables and booths in the seating space. We took the last available table, every table was full, people seemed to be having a really nice time. (I wanted to take pictures of the dining area but I did not want to scare people with my camera, trust me, it was nice:-)
Our waiter was friendly and helpful.
We had read the history of Rosati's and could not wait to taste the pizza.

Our waiter brought us some bread.

We ordered a deep dish pizza and we knew that would take some time.So we ordered side salads and an appetizer.The salads were fresh and delicious.

Our Appetizer..Bruschetta, Very Good

We knew the pizza was soon to come when the plates were placed on the pizza stand....

...and here it is our deep dish pizza...

...we had to order extra cheese,
I love cheese:-)
The pizza was great. A good indicator of good food for me is this. I did not add any salt! I add salt to everything. It just did not need it, the sauce was delicious.

As we were leaving I wanted to get a picture of the entry way, but it was filled with people waiting to get a taste of the good food that is served here.

We left full and happy:-)
We had a great time and look forward to a second visit, maybe with friends or family:-) Get out and enjoy your world and try a new restaurant....I recommend Rosati's.

I bought the Nikon Coolpix P510 because it is described as a "bridge camera". To me that means I can do a bit more manually then with my old point and shoot. I decided it was high time to get started in my attempt to understand more about digital photography. I went to a beginners class on Saturday to begin my adventure with my focus being on Aperture and Shutter Speed. I will start with Aperture. I find the f# confusing because in my mind they are backwards but I will have to get over it:-)
First off what is the definition of aperture? Here is what Destination Scuba has to say about it...

Aperture

It is indicated by f stop numbers f1.4, f2, f2.8, f5.6 and so on.
Just to confuse us – the larger the aperture the smaller the f stop number f22 is a very small aperture, f5.6 is big.
This is the control of how much light reaches the image sensor in the camera and has a direct relation to shutter speed.Generally the larger the aperture the fa…

My Mom used to make the most amazing Banana Nut Bread. Moist and yummy. Sadly I do not have her recipe. Over the years I have tried to find one that was equal but have not been 100% successful. I did find a close second though. Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread from Southern Living. I will not give it a 10 on my cooking scale but we have made it a lot and it never goes to waste so I will give it an 8.5/10 on my scale. Its very good:-) I gathered my ingredients..... Ingredients:

Combine first five ingredients; stir in nuts.Combine remaining ingredients; add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.Spoon batter into two greased and floured 8 1/2 x 41/2 x 3 loaf pans.Bake at 350 degrees for one ho…

While traveling with the Road Scholars in NY I had the opportunity to see several wonderful wineries. Among them was Dr. Frank's Winery.(Quotes from their website will be in italics) "Dr. Konstantin Frank ignited the “Vinifera Revolution” a movement that forever changed the course of wine growing in the Finger Lakes and the United States."First off, what is Vinifera? I consulted Google and found this definition...a common European grape (Vitis vinifera) that is the chief source of Old World wine and table grape varieties"In 1962, merely a decade after arriving in America, Dr. Frank founded Vinifera Wine Cellars. The winery quickly earned a reputation for spectacular Rieslings and its original planting of vines formed the backbone of New York’s world-class wines and champagnes."

The drive that day was lovely. Blue skies and grape vines. Nothing could make it better then a good glass of wine. And believe me, I did indulge in a good glass of wine and was not d…
